Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Lens (Sony E-mount)

Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Lens (Sony E-mount)

The Loxia 85mm f2.4 lens by Ziess comes in Sony E mount and is a fantastic compact short telephoto prime for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. In addition the Loxia 85mm f/2.4 is an ideal portrait-length lens characterized by its solid, modern form factor and impressive optical qualities. 

The Zeiss Loxia-series lenses are distinguished by their manual focus operation along with a manual aperture ring that can be de-clicked for silent operation; making them perfect candidates for filmmaking and video applications. Furthermore, the Zeiss Loxia lenses are also characterized by their compact form factor and all-metal lens barrel, which incorporates engraved focusing and depth of field scales, for fine-tuned control. 

Bright, Maximum Aperture for Low-Light

Despite it being designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, this Loxia can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length An f/2.4 maximum aperture permits working in low-light conditions, offers control over depth of field, and also helps to maintain the compact overall form factor of the lens.

Sonnar Optical Design and Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating

Sonnar optical concept suits the combination of a large maximum aperture and long focal length, and also contributes to notable sharpness, well-controlled flare, and high contrast. Three anomalous partial dispersion elements are used to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and colour fidelity. Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and colour fidelity.

Manual Focus with De-Clickable Aperture, Great for Video Work

Manual focus design is benefitted by focusing and depth of field scales along with a 220 degrees focus ring rotational angle and hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions. Manual aperture ring has clicked indicators throughout aperture range. Using the included De-Click Tool, this ring can be mechanically 'de-clicked' for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications.

Weather-Resistant Back

Weather-resistant construction includes internal seals to guard against dust and moisture as well as a blue sealing ring at the lens mount to protect the lens-camera interface.
